MiseryBusiness Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Basically, I wish to share my pictures with you. I've had my chickens for roughly a year now and they're great! I have 4 chickens, all the same age. I only have hens because I live in an urban area (I have quite a few houses around me, not lots) but the noise of the cars doesn't scare my chickens one bit. So here are some pictures. I unfortunatly have no Omlet products yet but, I am hoping to get an Eglu Cube in the near future to house 8 or so bantams. I hope you enjoy the pictures. They were all taken at different times so the chickens may look different ages. Haha! This is the enclosure we keep the chicken in. It's 6m long, 2.5m wide and 2m tall. This is my chicken coop. I think it's beautiful! This is Mocha. She's a Heritage Skyline and lays blue eggs. This is actually when and where she laid her very first egg... in a garden recycling bag. Haha! This is Harriet. She's a Mendelsham Blue and lays normal coloured eggs. This is Peppa. She's a Fenning Black and also lays normal coloured eggs. And last, but not least. This is Snowwy. She's a Fenning Sussex and lays normal coloured eggs. Edited May 9, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 That looks lovely; you've got a nice set up there. I'm waiting (pondering!) for my WIR to be built & love looking at how others design theirs. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percy049 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Love your girls I too, have Binnie (like Harriet), Lottie (like Peppa) and Laura (like Snowwy). We were going to get a skyline, but they had sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakjon-98 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I love your walk in run! I think my favourites mocha with her " hair" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiseryBusiness Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm happy that all of you like my photos! @snowberry Me and my Dad built it last year. We built it all from scratch so we don't have any templates but, I can give you a few tips; measure each length first, then divide it into equal sections. Build each section, THEN attach them all together. It worked great for us and we had it built in a few days. @WitchHazel Thank you very much. Very kind! @percy049 Thanks! What a coincidence, they are very nice breeds! @zakjon-98 I like Mocha's hair too, it's a great feature. (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy ben grace Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Looks a great setup, lucky chooks! I notice you have some quail aswell, how are you getting on with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiseryBusiness Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 @5am It was pretty funny! She did eventually find out where to lay, I believe it was just a one off. @suzannejoy Thank you very much. @jill the potter Thanks. @migsy We don't do anything to the chickens. I guess she's learned to clean herself very well and I guess it's paid off. Haha! @poppy ben grace Thank you! We're getting on really well with our Quail. They all seem to like there hutch and they all like each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 What lovely pictures! I have a particularly soft spot for Bluebelles - belle by nature and by name I like where you have your WIR too right next to the little rock garden. Very pretty.

MiseryBusiness Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 @Cheaky Chook Thanks! We had a huge patch of un-used ground next to our rock garden so we placed it there. It looks really good now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
